LINGUIST List 21.2827 Wed Jul 07 2010 Jobs: Language Acquisition: 2 Co-Editors, Journal of Child Language Editor for this issue: Christy Bird <christylinguistlist.org> The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we have no means of enforcing these standards. Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Since then it has established itself as a leading international journal publishing original research on all aspects of the scientific study of language behaviour in children. The journal has successfully forged links between many different areas of research including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests: phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, or any other recognised facet of language study. In addition to articles, the journal contains a Brief Research Reports section and an occasional section containing a review article plus commentaries by a range of other researchers. Professors Philip Dale and Edith Bavin will be stepping down as editors over the course of 2011. In order to ensure a smooth transition, we are now inviting applications from those interested in taking on the editorship of the journal from any time after 1st January 2011 (exact start date open to negotiation), for an initial term of five years. The new Editor(s) will 'shadow' Edith and Philip from autumn 2010 so they might familiarise themselves with the working practices. All submissions are handled using the online peer-review system ScholarOne Manuscripts. The Editors are supported by an experienced Editorial Assistant and a team of six Associate Editors (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo?jid=JCL&type=eb). Financial support in the form of an annual stipend will be available from Cambridge University Press. Attention to detail, excellent people skills and the ability to meet deadlines are essential. We are open to applications from individuals or editorial partnerships (based in North America, the UK or elsewhere). Interested applicants are invited to send a brief CV and covering letter to Cambridge University Press at the email addresses below. Covering letters should outline how the applicant(s) would approach the editorship, including: - thoughts on the future content and strategic direction of Journal of Child Language, development of the journal's international profile and aims and scope - the day to day running of the journal editorial office - any institutional support available, including financial support and time allowed for journal work - details of any prior journals experience The total document should comprise no more than five pages.
